Creating an application with a Node.js code sample

Note: The Node.js code sample uses the 3001 HTTP port.

Before you begin creating an application with this devfile code sample, it's helpful to understand the relationship between the devfile and Dockerfile and how they contribute to your build. You can find these files at the following URLs:

• Node.js devfile.yaml
• Node.js Dockerfile

1. The devfile.yaml file has an image-build component that points to your Dockerfile.
2. The Dockerfile contains the instructions you need to build the code sample as a container image.
3. The devfile.yaml kubernetes-deploy component points to a deploy.yaml file that contains instructions for deploying the built container image.
4. The devfile.yaml deploy command completes the outerloop deployment phase by pointing to the image-build and kubernetes-deploy components to create your application.
